Scent has a remarkable ability to influence our emotions, evoke memories, and transform our surroundings. Whether it's the calming aroma of lavender, the invigorating scent of citrus, or the comforting warmth of vanilla, fragrances play a vital role in enhancing mood and wellbeing. At Harvey & Co. Sydney, we carefully craft our soy candles with thoughtfully blended fragrances to create sensory experiences that elevate everyday life.
The Science Behind Scent and Emotion
Our sense of smell is directly linked to the limbic system, the part of the brain responsible for emotions, memories, and behavior. This connection explains why certain scents can trigger vivid memories or instantly shift our mood. Aromatherapy, which harnesses the power of essential oils and fragrances, has long been used to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve focus.
How Different Fragrances Affect Mood
1. Energising and Uplifting Scents
Citrus-based fragrances, such as lemon, orange, and bergamot, are known for their refreshing and revitalising properties. Our Lemon Myrtle soy candle is perfect for brightening up a space, enhancing focus, and boosting energy levels—ideal for home offices or morning routines.
2. Calming and Relaxing Scents
Lavender, chamomile, and sandalwood are commonly associated with relaxation and stress relief. Lighting a candle infused with these soothing scents, like our Lazy Days soy candle, can create a tranquil atmosphere, making it perfect for winding down in the evening or during meditation sessions.
3. Grounding and Comforting Scents
Woody and earthy fragrances, such as cedarwood, patchouli, and vetiver, bring a sense of warmth and stability. Our Olive Grove soy candle features an earthy, green aroma that transports you to a peaceful Mediterranean escape, offering a grounding and restorative effect.
4. Romantic and Sensual Scents
Floral and spicy notes, like rose, ylang-ylang, and vanilla, are often linked to romance and intimacy. These scents create a cozy and inviting environment, making them ideal for date nights or self-care rituals.
